Creating Open Solutions for
Collaborative Advantage

Collaborative
advantage occurs when greater results are achieved through working
together than could be attained through individual efforts. Once thought
of as optional, strategic collaboration is now essential to today’s
interconnected society and global market. However, it cannot be achieved
without openness, the essential element that enables collective action
and thinking.

Governments and businesses alike have the opportunity to structure
policy and international standardization in a way that achieves openness
and maximizes collaborative advantage.
